Today's Task

  1. Forms:
  • Set up your contact form in WS Form or Gravity Forms.
  • Set up email notifications (to you) and confirmation messages (to the submitter).
  • Test the form. Fill it in yourself. Does the confirmation feel right? Does the email arrive?
  • Add the form to your Contact page and as an embedded section on the homepage CTA.
  1. SEO Basics:
  • Install and configure Yoast or Rank Math.
  • For each page, write a custom title tag (under 60 characters) and meta description (under 155 characters). Use your benefit-first language from Day 11.
  • Set your homepage as the static front page (Settings → Reading).
  • Submit your sitemap to Google Search Console (search.google.com/search-console).
  • Connect Google Analytics (or a privacy-friendly alternative like Plausible).
  1. Performance:
  • Run your site through PageSpeed Insights (pagespeed.web.dev). Target: 80+ mobile score.
  • Compress any images you've uploaded. Use ShortPixel or Imagify plugin.
  • Enable caching via your cache plugin (LiteSpeed Cache if on Hostinger).
  • Disable any plugins you're not actively using.

Output: Working forms, SEO configured, analytics connected, page speed above 80 on mobile.
